I use clamav 0.88.2 with the clamassassin script in /etc/procmailrc to
invoke antivirus scanning of all mail.
I start clamd via a simple startup script I setup myself in rc5.d :-
/etc/init.d/clamdset =
#!/bin/sh
#Clamd & freshclam
/usr/local/sbin/clamd
/usr/local/bin/freshclam -d -c 4
Hope that helps
